Housing Tax Credit

When you’re developing an affordable housing project, federal and state Housing Tax Credits provide a significant source of equity. In fact, they’ve provided approximately $5.4 billion in equity for affordable rental housing in Colorado since the program began.

CHFA allocates these housing tax credits and administers the program in accordance with its Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP) and other Plans as applicable.
